IMPROVEMENT IN BROILERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 106,210, dated August 9, 1870; reissue No. 4,651, dated November 28,

DIvIsIoN A.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID E. BOE, of Elmira, in the county of Ohemung and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Broilers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact de scription of the same, .reference being had to the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this specification, in which- Figure l represents a central vertical section of my improved broiler, and Fig. 2 represents a plan view of the same with the cover removed, a portion of the handle being shown broken away.

To enable those skilled in the art to which my invention belongs to make and use the same, I will proceed to describe it more in detail.

The object of my invention is to produce a' broiler which can be readily used upon stoves with various-sized holes; one which shall be light, strong, and durable, and at the same time be neat and convenient for use, easy to keep clean, and which may also be manufactured with facility. The nat-ure of my invention consists, first, in a broiler-frame provided with a horizontal groove upon its innerl side, for the purposes hereafter stated second, in the combination, with the frame of the broiler provided with a horizontal groove, as hereafter described, of a removable grate or gridiron, for the purposeshereinafter stated.

In the drawing, the parts marked A represent the body or frame, which may be made either of sheet or cast metal, as preferred, and of any desired size. Its shape in this instance is that of the frustrum of a cone inverted, but it may be made in the form of a spherical zone. A horizontal groove, B, is formed in the side of the frame A, from which the grate or gridiron O receives its support. The grate or gridiron O is made in this instance to fit into the groove B, so that it can be readily taken out at any time, when desired, but is held in place by the upper iiange or edge of the groove, past which it is sprung, so that there is no liability of its being slipped out of place or detached by the ordinary use of the broiler. The groove B may be formed at any position between the upper and lower edges of the frame A, as best suits the taste or convenience of the manufacturerthe grate or gridiron to be made of a size to correspond with the diameter of the frame at the height Where the groove is formed. rlhe grate or gridiron O in this instance is made from wires in the form indicated in the drawing, and comprises an outer rim or hoop, O', and center ring D, joined to each other by radial wires or bars E. The inner ends of the radial wires E are bent around the center ring D to hold them all together, and their outer ends are secured to the hoop or rim C in a similar manner, and they are prevented from slipping out of place upon the hoop C by being laid in dents or depressions formed therein; or they may be secured by small whipping-wire, if preferred. By making the grate or gridiron of smooth radiating wires, it is much easier cleaned and the meat is less liable to adhere to it than when made from wire-cloth or crossed bars of wire. The broiler is provided with a cover, F, and handle G, which may be made in any form or design to suit the taste or convenience of the manufacturer, and the body and groove of the broiler may be varied to suit the various kinds y of grates or gridirons applied thereto.

The food to be broiled is placed upon the grate or gridiron O, and the lower edge Al ofthe frame A is set into the opening or hole in the top of the stove.

By making' the broiler with a downwardlyprojecting conical-shaped part to enter the hole in the stove below the grate the broiler can be applied with ease to stoves having dierentsized holes. Then again the onical-shaped projection for entering the hole in the stove serves as a guide in placing the broiler in the hole. The conical form is of great importance, since it enables the maker to construct the broilers of a uniform size, thereby lessening the expense and trouble, and greatly facilitating their manufacture. By supporting the grate or gridiron O in a horizontal groove, B, itis retained securely in position, so that it will not be liable to become tilted or displaced While turning the meat or by any excess of pressure upon one side. The groove is also much easier constructed than would be a ange or lugs for the purpose. The gridiron O being removable, the broiler is very easily kept clean, and, in ease the Wires should The combination, With a broiler-frame providget rusty or become bent or broken7 it can be ed with @horizontal groove, of aly removable grate readily taken out and repaired or be replaced by 0r gridiron for supporting the food to be broiled.
